Members Jkater Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yamaha L86 acoustics: $12,000. Might be considered custom made but it's a definite model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 The Adrian Belew Parker is $9K BUT the Don Felder Gibson LP is a reasonably priced $12.5K And when these came out they were a paltry $25K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guitar Heel Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 This was my first thought, but definitely made by hand. Back when Guitar Player had GPTV up and running, they did a video review of this guitar. It got SLAMMED. All kinds of shit was broken (unintentionally), or didn't work well. Wasn't even well setup. It was a disaster. Thought that was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Argh! Zombies! Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Not a handbuilt custom, but something off an assembly line. Any ideas? EG I suppose the "most expensive" production guitar may turn out to be the Firebird-X: it could cost Gibson the company... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 A new Gibson Super 400 CES is over $12,000 street price ($18,000 MSRP). That's for the production model. Sometimes they make special limited edition versions for $45,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 It would be a safe bet to say it is a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metallica_00 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 I believe these are around $10K. Which probably makes them one of the more expensive production solidbodies - IMO archtops are a totally different ballgame. Where to draw the line at "custom" is tough. Most of the boutiques are really "one offs" and often made by one guy, so it's not really anything close to a factory - but they're based on a standard shape or whatever, not an "anything goes" thing. These D'Pergos go at $6K+. I played a very early probably 6 or so years ago before the hype machine kicked in. I think they were going for around $3000 at the time.

It was a disaster. Thought that was hilarious. Yes, true on all accounts, I had a good hour on one of these 25K replicas and I hated the way fender made this. Played like shit, didn't sound that great either, finishing mistakes all over it that were way off from teh original, the floyd wasn't set up right, intonation was WAY off. $25K for one of these is a joke, you see them on ebay now for 12K-16K. Still way too much for something that played like crap. I built mine for $1200 in parts/materials and it blows the $25 replica guitar away in sound, playability AND looks. Took almsot 3 months to build as I took my time getting all the little details and relicing in. Here's the comparison pic. the $25K Fender on the left... my EVH build on the right, almost at it's completion.last year (needed neck relicing and cigarette burns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
